These guys are so awesome!!! Very happy Grammy's nominated them for alternative album of the year. Amazon's got their album for only $5 this month too!!
I just saw Broken Bells on Conan 12/15/10 and had to find the song online (I wish the performance from Conan's show was availabe)... it's the best thing I've heard in a long while, can't wait to hear more from Broken Bells!
Pretty sure that's Nate Wolcott of Bright Eyes on the keys. Also pretty sure that that is one of the guitarist from the Mystic Valley Band. All great bands. Broken Bells is awesome. Totally worth a brief commercial, so long as I don't have to pay to watch.
Wow! I'm AMAZED at how quiet the audience was. They must have asked everyone to be silent. Live recordings are almost always drowned out by the fan excitement. Great quality recording! ^_^
Indie rock? They're on Columbia Records so I guess that would make them major label artists. MTV is shit though...what happened to Music Television which is what it stands for, or stood for. Now all I see are reality shows, shows that have nothing to do with music, and occaisonally a video of a decent group or artist. Anyways, carry on and dig this tune...the whole album is great so pick it up if you haven't already.
@LeopoldGold1 With so many "indie" bands going major...the moniker has spilled over, becoming a genre rather than just who you are signed to. Indie is now how your music is produced, creative control, marketed etc.
@Blovinjack Indie IS a genre, The Smiths were the first indie band and then there were a load recently like Arctic Monkeys, The Pigeon Detectives and the like. All jangly telecasters and whatnot. I'm definitely not saying Broken Bells are indie, because I don't think they are. They have an individual sound but that doesn't make them indie.
@Nugglashine Yeah, I am. I guess you like MTV? Or do you just mouth off when some ppl agree with someone else's comment? Either way...fuck you nuggla. Happy Thanksgiving!
great. this is all the indie rock community needs....idiotic blondes thinking that james mercer is a "hip-sounding" indie musician worthy of being featured on shit mtv.
"Too loud" doesn't exist with this song.
